You still have to time to buy tickets to today's film events.

Action!

In years past, 90 percent of ticket sales to the Lifetree Film Fest occurred at the box office on the day of the events, said Craig Cable, director of Lifetree Cafe.

Films and workshops will carry on throughout the day at the Pulliam building in downtown Loveland, culminating in a red carpet event at 6 p.m.

And the red carpet event is not for the actors in the films screened during the film festival.

"The Loveland community are the stars of the festival. The red carpet is for them," Cable said. Film viewers are encouraged to dress up in tuxedos and prom gowns or dress down in swim trunks and flip flops, although that might be chilly.

"Paparazzi" camera-crazy photographers will snap photos as event goers walk the carpet. A chipper booth will allow visitors to pose in fake mustaches and awesome hats for a photo strip as a keepsake of the event.

"The benefit of the Pulliam is that it was a clean slate," Cable said. "We had a lot to work with." Dan Bashor with DB Production Services donated the use of audio-visual equipment and a large screen and spent Friday installing it at the building.

Several downtown businesses stepped forward to provide coupons to ticket holders and after hours parties.

This is the third year of the Lifetree Film Festival by Group Publishing and the first time it has been held away from Group.

"It will feel very much like a community event," Cable said. "This is a real debut to the Loveland community downtown. When everything is running so well, you wonder what you forgot."

He said that the films are diverse and creative. "They all have a redeeming message which is consistent with our team of 'Doing Life, Doing Good," Cable said. "It's cool to bring that to Loveland."
